July 14th was my Dad’s 60th birthday, so to help celebrate it; my family went to the Florida Keys again for a week. My fiancee Kristen, my twin brother Matt and I flew down to Fort Lauderdale for a day and then drove down to meet my parents and older brother Jason down in the Keys. It was a nice relaxing trip, filled with swimming, kayaking, and eating way too much key lime pie! Woof.

I’m getting married! Yes, yes I know, some girl ACTUALLY wants to marry my stupid ass. But it’s true, I proposed to my lovely girlfriend Kristen Saturday on an awesome day trip I planned on. I’m the king of the day trips! It didn’t hurt that it was sunny and 85 degrees outside either. What a day it was!

For Days 1 and 2 of the trip, click here, and here. The last day of the my Washington, DC trip was an extremely busy one. We managed to do even more than we did the previous days. Plus, it was a perfect day to be outside and shooting.

For Day 1 of the trip, click here. The second day of our Washington, DC trip tested our feet. DC has great transportation but you want to be able to walk around a lot as well. I’m not sure I did as much walking as I did in Dublin, Ireland last year but it’s definitely up there. Each night we had to just massage our feet and just stay off of them for the night. Soaking them in hot water also helped as well. But besides that, we managed to do a lot of stuff around the National Mall area.

I have never been to Washington, DC before. I’ve driven around it, but never actually went to see any of the historic sites and all that fun stuff. My girlfriend Kristen and I decided to go the week after Easter for an extended weekend. I liked the city, but I think we went during the worst possible week because of the cherry blossoms (which we missed the peak) and the festival that was happening that weekend. Let’s just say everything was jam packed!
